Growing Tips for Apollo 13 Seeds

While Apollo 13 is increasingly rare, it is one of the many strains that is easy to grow even if you have no prior experience cultivating your own cannabis plants. This strain requires warmth, sunlight, and fresh air to grow to completion.

If you are going to take on this grow, you will need to replicate California summers to give it the correct environment, indoors or outdoors. Indoor growers will need nutrient-rich soil, ample lighting, and the perfect temperatures and humidity to produce favorable yields come harvest time. Outdoor growers with access to a greenhouse will have an easier time bringing this strain to harvest, as greenhouses provide a similar climate to that of an indoor grow and can be controlled throughout the duration of the grow cycle. If you don’t have access to a greenhouse, then you will need to plan out a window of clear skies and warm weather, typically during the late Spring and Summertime, depending on where you live, to bring this strain to fruition. Apollo 13 grows medium to tall and will need the right amount of space to grow both vertically and laterally. Providing a consistent temperature range of 68-80 degrees Fahrenheit and ensuring relative humidity levels stay around 40-50% is critical for optimal growth. Outdoor cultivation requires warmth and humidity with lots of sunlight to produce bud-rich, resin-coated plants. Topping and Low-stress training (LST) are the best methods for this plant because they both adjust the canopy so that light penetration and air reach the lower levels of the plant. Routine maintenance on the branches and canopy will help increase yields come harvest time. During the vegetative stage, you should provide 18-20 hours of light each day. You will need to change the light cycle from 18-20 hours to a 12/12 cycle to induce the flowering stage of growth. This change will get you through flowering and into harvest.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Apollo 13 strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50-60 days.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 500 grams per plant. These yields are fantastic, especially when you consider that this grow is easy, even for first-time or novice cannabis cultivators.
• Harvest: Outdoor grows should be ready to harvest around the middle of October, depending on when you planted your seeds.

Apollo 13 Terpenes: Earthy and Peppery Sweetness

The Apollo 13 terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while pinene and myrcene are the secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – This terpene produces a peppery and spicy flavor and aroma when found in cannabis.
• Pinene: Secondary Terpene – Found mostly in pine needles and cannabis, pinene produces an earthy and pine-like aroma and flavor.
• Myrcene: Mother of All Terpenes – Myrcene can be found in a number of cannabis strains and provides the herb with an earthy and woody flavor and aroma.
